Resume: Dafne Keen

 

For this latest edition of Resume, we take a look at one of the latest rising starlets in the world of Last Resort Films, Dafne Keen!

SEASON 11

The Troop

Director: James DeMonaco

Writer: T.F.W. Hallowayne

Budget: $22,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $23,788,394

Foreign Box Office: $27,129,736

Total Profit: $18,302,884

Dafne Keen made her LRF debut in Season 11's The Troop, one of a handful films from former writer T.F.W. Hallowayne, as the lone girl in a group of boy scouts camping on a remote island when a horrific creature breaks loose. The Ethan Hawke-led film was a decent little success at the box office.



SEASON 24

Run

Director: Garth Davis

Writer: Wesley Campbell

Budget: $52,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $49,786,007

Foreign Box Office: $29,354,288

Total Profit: -$18,094,055

Dafne Keen was away from LRF screen for quite a while before finally returning in Season 24's Run as the daughter of characters played by Carey Mulligan and Chris Evans. The film received a mixed response from critics and was a box office flop.



SEASON 25

No Promises in the Wind

Director: Steven Spielberg

Writer: Rachel Hallett Hardcastle

Budget: $80,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $35,281,327

Foreign Box Office: $21,283,840

Total Profit: -$71,989,796

Keen appeared one season later in a much bigger box office flop, No Promises in the Wind, in a supporting role. In addition to the disastrous box office, the film was also trashed by critics.



SEASON 28

Who Do You Trust When the World is at War?

Director: Meirad Tako

Writer: Meirad Tajo

Budget: $21,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $5,989,296

Foreign Box Office: $12,230,048

Total Profit: -$24,038,888

In her first of two appearances in Season 28, Keen played the lead role in writer/director Meirad Tako's Who Do You Trust When the World is at War? While the film was another in a string of box office flops to Keen's resume, she managed to win a surprising Best Actress GRA trophy for her performance.

The Pull of the Stars

Director: Claire Denis

Writers: Rachel Hallett Hardcastle & Rosie JoLove

Budget: $29,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $7,847,103

Foreign Box Office: $12,000,097

Total Profit: -$34,049,933

Like clockwork, Dafne Keen appears in yet another box office bomb - her fourth in a row. Like No Promises in the Wind and Run, this was another failed novel adaptation.

Up Next:

Dafne Keen has yet to line up any roles after Red Queen, but the studio is hoping that the film is successful enough to spawn sequels as there are three more books in the series of novels by Victoria Aveyard.
